The binge-and-purge cycle (commoly referred to by the notation "b/p") is often seen in eating disroders like bulimia. It begins with a person "bingeing". This is where they consume large amounts of caloires (thousands, literally) in a short amount of time. To them rid their bodies of these calories so as not to gain weight, the person will then "purge". This is usually either forcefully throwing up or by use of harsh laxatives. This process repeats daily or weekly and become known as a cycle.

Bingeing and purging can wreak havoc on the mind and body. Bingeing can cause strain on the stomach as it expands past what it should. Too much of this and the stomach could rupture. Also, it messes up the body's natural metabolism. Puring is VERY dangerous. It can lead to stomach acid wear on the esophagus and teeth, along with a potentail for the esophagus to rupture or to choke. This cycle can also be very damaging to a person mentally.
